In-Browser Editing
If your website is hosted with Adobe Business Catalyst, you can now make changes to the content of the live site through a browser. Then you can decide whether to merge those changes with the original Adobe Muse CC file. Follow these steps to give it a try:
- Choose File > Site Properties and then choose the Content category at the top of the Site Properties dialog box. Select Enable In-Browser Editing, if it's not already selected (see Figure 12). Click OK.
- Publish the site to Adobe Business Catalyst using the Publish link or by choosing File > Publish. (If you've already done this, skip to the next step.)
- After the site is published to Adobe Business Catalyst, choose File > Add In-Browser Editing User.
- Click the Invite Admin User button. Enter the email address and other information for the user who will be invited to edit site content. Click Select Roles in the User Roles option and select either the Administrators or Users role for that person (see Figure 13).
- The user you invite will receive an email message with a login URL that he or she can click to log into the site admin area, using a browser. Assuming that you are the invited user, the remaining steps in this procedure describe how to edit the website via your browser.
- After logging in, you can click the Edit link in the upper-left corner of the web page to begin editing the site content in the browser (see Figure 15).
- Positioning your pointer over content in the browser highlights the editable content (see Figure 16). You can edit text and replace images, using the site library or your own computer as the source (see Figure 17). You also can navigate the links of the site; for example, to go to another page, by positioning the pointer over a link and clicking the Click Element icon to the right, or by clicking the link itself (if it isn't editable).
- When you're finished editing, click the Publish or Discard Changes button.
- After you're finished, the dialog box will show that the sync is complete, and you can click Done.
